Also, I know that in certain part of the world is legal to go fishing with scuba gear.. but I still believe it is a very shameful practice if not for very few (and specific) reasons like that one conducted by parks patrols to control a specie. Don't like.
You don't know what you're talking about and have probably never done it.
I knew it.I never done it
Do you eat fish? Do you eat Tuna fish? It doesn't matter which legal method you choose to harvest a fish, you still have limits so the end result is the same. If you really want to see something shameful, pull up a video of an eskimo bashing in the head of a baby seal to harvest its fur. Or the way asian fisheries catch hundreds of sharks and cut off their fins while they are still alive and throw them back in the ocean with no fins. The list goes on and on. That diver got himself a meal...Also, I know that in certain part of the world is legal to go fishing with scuba gear.. but I still believe it is a very shameful practice if not for very few (and specific) reasons like that one conducted by parks patrols to control a specie.

Its legal in Florida to do it on OC. We went through this entire discussion last year.
NPole spearfishing on OC is just like being a hunter going to the Zoo and shooting a caged animal. It is so easy to do that it has become the next gold rush and literally thousands of people are quiting their jobs to become professional spear fisherman. You just go in the ocean on scuba get 20 fish and sell them to the restaurants and become rich.
